PRE-REGISTER HERE!
Most women spend 1/3 to 1/2 of their lives post-menopause. It is truly a transition to be celebrated... yet our culture often leaves us feeling confused and fearful of this third life stage. In intact cultures, the post-menopausal woman commands the deepest respect. She goes by many names: the Sorceress, the Crone, the Wise Woman, the Grandmother. In fact, Menopause is NOT the end of our lives as females: it is the start of a NEW and EPIC Season!

Menopause in Sisterhood is a chance to reveal our fears, share our successes and struggles with this transition, and be held in softness and expansion, by three experienced facilitators and educators of women.
